I'm trying to setup dual boot (linux/win 2k) on my laptop. I successfully installed the 2 OSes. Now I need to retrieve 512 bytes out of the MBR to copy into windows. But my laptop doesnt have a floppy drive, so how do I copy the 512 bytes??
Please help

Are you going to use the dd command? If you are, just specify a different location in the of= . You can do something like of=/home/chris/somefile.
